Stenciled Merry & Bright

 Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend.  We may finally see some nicer temps and sunshine!  I have a Christmas card today that fulfills two challenges;  the Krafty Chicks want Christmas, and Just Us Girls, where they want flowers:



I recently got a new stencil and die from Spellbinders called Christmas Florals.  This was my first attempt at using it, so it's not perfect but I can see lots of possibilities with it!  Here we go:


I pretty much followed the picture on the package, LOL...next time I might use some other colors!  After diecutting it, I mounted it on a brick-embossed backbround piece and added the Strawberry Slush sentiment, which also comes with the set:


A sentiment from the retired Peaceful Season went on the inside:


Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

A stellar first use, LeAnne! Love the colors and know you will come up with something equally pretty on your own. That sweet little sentiment strip is perfect - and such a gorgeous strawberry pink!

Oh SO pretty, LeAnne! I would say that you did a amazing job meeting the requirements for both challenges! Such pretty, vibrant colors and I love the sentiment panel! Enjoy the warmer temps this weekend...today it's still a bit chilly and hopefully it improves! :)
